Oh man, excellent video, thanks. I wish I had watched it one week ago! I just got new torsion keys for my crappy old 1993 project Suburban. One of the old keys was stuck in there with surface rust...took me about two days of beating on it and nearly a whole can of PB Blaster to coax it out. I am sure my neighbors were getting pissed off from all the noise. Supposed to be a 3" lift but the upper control arms were sitting almost right on the stops, just like you mentioned, so I dialed it back to about 2.5 inches or so. I thought the ride would be awful after installing the keys, but it's actually pretty nice. Just a little firmer than stock. Now to install the rear blocks...and find tires I can stuff under there. (It's currently riding on very embarrassing 245 street tires from Ling Long, ha ha ha...such quality tires)

What kit did you use? I'm very curious!
@sebastianmuglia74512 жыл бұрын
I used king 2.0 x 6" coilovers. With freedom offroad tubular upper control arms. They aren't direct bolt on though. You'll have to ditch the factory upper shock mount as it they were never intended to support the weight of the vehicle. So I fabricated a shock hoop for the top and welded new tabs on the lower control arm for the bottom. Also i ditched the front differential and cv axles after breaking diffs and cv's all the time. So that gave more room for the coilover. But if you were to get an extended lower rod end for the shock you could still have enough room for the axle to sneak by. Similar to what you would see on an aftermarket coilover for a newer Toyota or chevy.

@AutoEdits Жыл бұрын
Thanks for the comment! I think the best way to get lift in the rear is to add a leaf or getting the proper springs so if that is a viable option... go that direction for sure. Especially if you have an application with any real horsepower. This truck had 190 HP new and axle wrap is not really a big concern... blocks are the absolute worst for power vs. traction scenarios. I just went the "lazy" way and slapped the blocks in 'till I figure out what I want to do with this thing long term. Drives phenomenal for the time being and the few wheeling trips have been very good.

The problem im having is it is extremely rough to drive, any small dent in the road throws me around. I wasnt sure about the front end, im the torsion keys were cranked all the way, but it looks like there is a aftermarket bump stop change, I have now upper control arm bump stop, only 2 lower control arm bump stops one stopping the upper side of the lower and one stopping the lower of the lower (this might be confusing). At this point I dont think I can lower the vehicle with out getting a new kind that changes those bump stops to the original. Im not sure what I should do, I also want to get new shocks and replace my front bushing but cant make a decision until I figure out what I do with the lift.

I have a 1999 Tahoe, and I want it 2-3 inches, but I want it to be close to level, your truck looks kinda raked ( back higher than the front ) but I want to lift it, but the front needs to come up, I want to fit like 275s-285s 32-32.8 inch tire. I’m looking at the torch lift kit, it’s a 2-3 inch front and 2 inch blocks in the back, how would I not max out the down travel on the front?

I got a truck question. So I get a 2016 ram 1500 2 wheel 5.7 with a 2 piece drive shaft and the center bearing support. I just saw your vid where you upgraded your drive shaft from a 2 to 1 piece, and I was wondering if I can upgrade my drive shaft to a one piece from the 2 piece?
@AutoEdits2 жыл бұрын
Absolutely! I just called Tom Wood's driveshaft and they gave me the measurements they needed and was able to order the parts you saw in the video... 4 years and almost 30,000 miles and still going great.

did you have to cut off any of the studs on the rear axle when adding those rear wheel spacers? I was think of getting the same ones

I wouldn't... that's what keeps the tire from bottoming out and destroying the inner fender area.

Great information. Between the redhead steering box and the kryptonite components, which of the two do you feel made the biggest improvement to your trucks steering wheel play?
@AutoEdits2 жыл бұрын
Great question! The steering box in this thing was leaking very bad and could've been adjusted to firm it up so the replacement of the ball joints and steering linkages probably had the greatest impact on the steering feel improvements. The new steering box was mostly due to the fact it costs almost as much to rebuild one as to get a new (rebuilt) unit.

I always see guys putting in a new frnt. diff. bracket and having to cut on it etc...even with just a 2" lift...I've got a '96 Tahoe and am planning to follow your lead as I like your style....save where you can and spend where appropriate...although I'm thinking 33"'s.

Yes, it's 4:56 front and rear. For what I do with the truck at this point... the 10 bolt with hardened axle shafts is fine. I put a grizzly locker in the rear and wish I had gone with the Yukon limited slip. Here's a trip with this rig in death valley kzbin.info/www/bejne/iX3bcmyeobxsr5o

OK so I'm blond . I recently bought a 02 Tahoe with a lift with absolutely 0 knowledge of part replacement for the thing I believe that I have a bearing going out on pass side there is some clunking some rattling starting to kinda wondering in the steering when suspended I got play side to side and top and bottom so I'm thinking tie rod ends and ball joint but how in the world do I replace them if I go with the standard are they going to hold up to the rest of the cusome lift maybe I need a mechanic idk I've always been able to diagnose buy and replace any of these things in the past by ordering the standard but this is completely new to me and you seem to know or be knowledgeable of the lift this so I decided to inquire about problem feel free to message me or not either way thanks for the video
